Mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor insisted he would beat American Floyd Mayweather in a rematch and said he wants a boxer to “come into his world”, the BBC reported on Wednesday.
McGregor, speaking ahead of the Dublin premiere of Conor McGregor: Notorious – a documentary about the fighter – said his next fight would be to defend his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight title.
“Right now I am focused on my world, the world of true fighting,” he said.
“Ideally I would like to take one of the boxers into an MMA bout – someone come into my world now.
“I went into their platform and faced the so-called best-of-the-best and I handled him pretty easily in the early rounds, before I got fatigued and got stopped.”
